Google is now sponsoring a new MLconf award program called the MLconf Industry Impact Student Research Award. This November, our committee of distinguished ML professionals will award a student whose research is deemed to be useful for solving the problems currently faced in industry. Last year, we started the tradition of including academic presentations in our events that we felt were relevant to current industry application. One example of this included a talk at MLconf Atlanta, on VoG, an approach that efficiently summarizes large graphs by finding their most interesting and semantically meaningful structures, by Danai Koutra, in her last year as PhD student at Carnegie Mellon. We’re now moving forward with an award for such research.
We need your input!
In our efforts to identify potential nominees, our program committee would like you, our respected leaders from the MLconf community, for recommendations of students that are participating in this instrumental research!
The winner of this contest will be announced at onstage at MLconf San Francisco on Friday, November 13th, 2015. Following the announcement, the winner will be invited to present their work at MLconf in New York City on 04/15/16.
